I shall discuss how I did those paintings and banners.<br /><br />First of all I went on google images (where else) and copied down a the images I wanted.<br /><br />second I went onto microsoft word and pasted them, naturaly many of them were way to big to be right for the scale. so I resized them.<br /><br />to resize the pictures on word I thought "how can I get them to be right and not do complicated math to find out"?...<br />well I chose a range of of mesurments I could adjust the pictures too to get them the right size. these measurements were.<br />1cm<br />1.5cm<br />2cm<br />on word you change the dimenstions of one axis X or Y and the other automaticaly changes. so I always chose the longest side and changed that. if it did not seem right I would adust the other so that it fitted one of the above measurments... so by trial and error and visual means I got the right sized images.<br /><br />then all I did was print them off and glue them in. I added some card backing to the paintings as well...<br /><br />also while on word if you want you can use that program to add a boarder or crop the image this can add some other features that enhance realism or make it more nice to look at.<br /><br />hope that was useful...<br />GowanDaisy Gowan Ditchburnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07476802587483833107noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1194749690795068416.post-4574565053379672792012-03-25T03:31:24.592-07:002012-03-25T03:31:24.592-07:00Very nice cityscape.

I love the use of the mugshots and other posters to provide that extra little bit of detail.Uncle Brianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00975932783227453858noreply@blogger.com
